“What about it?” Williams asked yesterday morning when the subject of Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin was approached.

Williams said he did not watch Lin’s 3-point game-winner against Toronto.

“I didn’t see. I don’t watch TV. I swear,” said Williams who, along with the Nets, was the first victim in the Lin-inspired winning streak by the Knicks. “Since I went to Istanbul [Turkey] I like stopped watching TV.”

Lin has sort of gone beyond television and become a phenomenon, leading the Knicks over the Kings last night for their seventh straight win.

But Williams remained resolute in his disinterest.

“Why would we get excited about the Knicks? We’re [8-22], I’m worried about us, not what Jeremy Lin’s doing,” said Williams, admitting the hype and publicity gets overblown in the area because “they’re the Knicks.”
